Concept & Story

Virrudh brings to prime time television a clash of the titans. The story revolves around the life and dilemmas of Vasudha, a daughter torn between her father she worships, and the man she loves. Dhirnedra Rai Singhania (Vikram Gokhle) is Vasudha's (Smriti Irani) manipulative father. He has various business interests but his passion is the newspaper business he runs called Daink Darpan. He is a power hungry control freak. He is portrayed as a media baron who controls opinions and has political connections.

Smriti loves her father but does not like his manipulative nature and the fact that he can go to any lengths to get his own way.

He also is the head of a dysfunctional family who is against him for one reason or the other. Vasudha is portrayed as the ideal daughter who looks upto her father and also helps him run his business. She is the Indira Gandhi to his Nehru. She is respectful, sincere and dedicated to him. She is in love and wants to marry Sushant the newspapers star chief editor. There is some sort of misunderstanding between Vasudha and Sushant, which results in Vasudha leaving her father and going off to London.

Life takes a complete U turn for her and circumstances force her to come back ... she then comes back and becomes all that she never wanted to become...................Her father.

Cast & Crew

DHIRENDRA RAISINGHANIYA (Vikram Gokhale)
He heads one of the largest and successful corporate houses, with varied interests in textiles, auto industries, retail, telecommunications and construction. But what drives him is the print media, especially because of the power, credibility and the control it gives him. With a shrewd business mind, he uses his newspaper 'Dainik Darpan' to make or break people, grant favours and in?return extract his pound of flesh. While he is ruthless in business, he is also a generous philanthropist and a kind father. However, his stern outlook extends to all and he will not hesitate to use or manipulate even his own family to suit his personal agenda.
 
VASUDHA RAISINGHANIYA (Smriti Irani)
She is the eldest, is closest to her father. Vasudha is Dhirendra Raisinghaniya's most loving daughter and his backbone in the business. She is an integral part of his life, reminding him to take his morning pill and organizing his daily appointments. Whether it's engagements or signing important documents, Dhirendra Raisinghaniya depends on and trusts only Vasudha. She readily performs her duties without complaining and with an enviable energy, diligence and sincerity. The fact that Vasudha is Dhirendra Raisinghaniya's illegitimate daughter whom he acknowledged and accepted, has won him immense respect in her eyes and for Vasudha, he is larger than life.
 
Chief Reporter SUSHANT SHARMA (Sushant Singh)
Chief Reporter Sushant is the star journalist of 'Dainik Darpan', and is known for his unbiased investigation and unshakable integrity. As part of his job, he has cultivated a wide network of contacts and has sources in politics, industry, crime and other fields. Sushant is also a maverick and a rebel who is afraid of nothing and no one. He is in love with Vasudha and she too adores him. Dhirendra Raisinghaniya is aware of this relationship but has never questioned Sushant or Vasudha and neither of them have had the courage to discuss it with him since they don't want to face his disapproval.
 
PANDEY (Aanjjan Srivastava)
He works for Danik Darpan & always keeps in resignation in his pocket. After stealing file containing prof against Sinha from Sushant's cabin he gives his resignation to Dhirendra who doesnot approve it & tears it into pieces.
 
VEDIKA RAISINGHANIYA (Achint Kaur)
She is almost the same age as Vasudha, but completely different. While Vasudha is demure, Vedika is an alcoholic, unsteadily tottering from hangover to hangover and boyfriend to boyfriend. She is her father's worst critic and never misses a chance to hurt him by her blunt statements. The reason behind her bitter and cold behaviour is the fact that Dhirendra Raisinghaniya did not allow her to marry the man she loved. In her naivety, she believes her father when he says that men want to marry her only for the opportunity to get access to him, his money and his power and not for what she is. She is shocked when she finds out what Dhirendra did to Shalini & her father Pratap.
 
VEDANT  RAISINGHANIYA (Karan Mehra)
The only son of Dhirendra Raisinghaniya, Vedant is fun loving. He is trapped in a fake case. Later on his innosence is proved & realises that his father cares only of his status & not family. Vasudha is Vedant's best friend with whom he shares his talk about his girlfriends. At times, he feels bad Vasudha doesnot share talks about her & Sushant's with him but with Dhariya.

VIRENDAR RAISINGHANIYA (Mohan Bhandari)
Virendar Raisinghaniya is Dhirendra's younger brother. He has two sons, Rudraksh and Dhairya. Though he is affectionate, loving, gregarious and cheerful, Virendar secretly nurses a bitter grudge against Dhirendra who, he believes, cheated him of his rightful share in their father's property. Virendar is biding his time and waiting for Dhirendra's fall so he can eventually take over the business empire.
 
RUDRAKSH RAISINGHANIYA (Chetan Hansraj)
Rudraksh is an impatient young man who cannot tolerate the injustice meted out to his father and family. He is always raring to get even with Dhirendra Raisinghaniya but Virendar reins him in and tells him to wait for the right time. Rudraksh hates Vasudha as she is Dhirendra's shield.

DHAIRYA RAISINGHANIYA (Anand D. Suryavanshi)
Dhairya is a patient, soft spoken, gentle young man who is the complete opposite of his elder brother Rudraksh. He stays out of the complicated machinations that his father and brother get involved in and holds Dhirendra and Vasudha Raisinghaniya in high esteem. In fact, Vasudha and he are good friends.
 
DEVYANI (Ashwini Kalsekar)
She works in Dhirendra's newspaper Dainik Darpan. Dhirendra used her when he needed her & then never look back at her after reaching hieghts of success. Devyani is waiting for that day when she can take revenge from Dhirendra for whatever he did to her.
